Covariance analysis on the thermal neutron capture cross sections using an Am-Be neutron source

We measured the thermal cross sections of 71Ga(n, γ)72Ga using an Am-Be neutron source having strength of 4 × 107 neutrons/sec using the two monitor reactions 197Au(n, γ)198Au and 55Mn(n, γ)56Mn, and obtained 4.07±0.27 b and 3.97±0.31 b as the values measured relative to Au and Mn neutron captures,...
